Strengthening the Public Development Banking Ecosystem to Drive Climate Action

Senate House Alumni Lecture Theatre (SALT) SOAS, University of London 10 Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG

About this Event

How can a stronger and more interconnected global public development bank ecosystem improve access to climate finance, reduce borrowing costs, reduce investment risk, develop project pipelines, create sustained demand, and enhance debt management? Looking at opportunities for fostering collaboration between multilateral and national development banks, government ministries, and other key actors, the discussion will identify policy reforms and innovations to scale sustainable, affordable development finance.
